Buggy distroyed .. run away
I had an Ofna Buggy I was trying to tune ... about 1 gallon ... I started it up ran it a bit in the lot to get the engine up to temp.. and i was going to go down and run it on a semi natures track if you will ... ( empty retention pond) .. I ran for about 30 seconds .. then gave it some gas got it about 30 feet away ... hit the brake to turn it around .. then all of a sudden its gunned full throttle.. i had no control ... it hit a curb hitting it head on ... buggy came to a stop but then engine wound up so bad .... I was running .. but i couldn't make ... POP there goes my engine...thing bent in half breaking everything in its way ... front end and rear seem fine .. try is bent and everything else.. Engine threw the rod broke the piston and messed up the sleeve... What could have caused this?? I have a good radio ... Futaba 2.4 3pm.. this was my first and only buggy and im heart broken..
